Valley View Downs fights for PA harness license in Supreme Court
Valley View Downs has appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court after the Commonwealth Court ordered reconsideration of Bedford Downs. Jeffrey Smith of Valley View says the petition should have been granted, citing experience as a key factor, while Beaver County residents back the project and Bedford Downs faces a separate path. The two applicants seek final approval for large harness racing facilities, with Valley View proposing a 340 million racetrack casino in Beaver County and Bedford Downs a 138 million complex in Lawrence County. State Senator Gerald LaValle notes there is no guarantee the Supreme Court will hear Valley View’s case.
